Mock up of cd cover

This is one of my mock ups for my cd cover including the inside of it.

Case study - Jay-Z magazine single

The image I the middle won't be used because I don't want that type of mood to it but he will be standing in the middle and I will use this layout, it will involve the day the single will come out and all the different versions of the song so let me explain live and in concert things like that I also I like the red going across the image so I will somehow think of a way to add that in. I think i like the simplicity of it how i have picked case studies that are very similar to bryson tiller i think it will show the emotion of the song through the advert and him standing by himself, I will make the background black because i think the colour black will suit the song. I think adding the date at the bottom gives the audience a sense of information so they know when they have to pre order it by and when it's out so they can buy it in stores or online.     

Case study 3 - Partynextdoor 3

The use of imagery in the party next door album is that he is looking off to the side in every image back and front shows an emotional connection with the audience and reflects him and his music as a whole. The shots used are all mid shots and a close up on the back cover. The framing is very simple apart from the front cover where his in a circle and I think this adds uniqueness to the front cover because of the background it helps you to focus in the middle where the actual artist it I love how it's in the middle makes the audience focus on one single thing and that's why I picked this case studies because it is very simple and open to any meanings and connects with the music on the album. The angle is straight on but the camera is looking up at him a little bit. The body language is very serious and doesn't seem to be very happy the colours really do set the mood and it looks like he is reminiscing about something and that relates to the song we did for our music video he was thinking about how he missed the good times and wants her forgiveness and I think this album cover relates to the song we did very well. Also the fade into black on the front and back cover is really good and I want to use it in my own CD packaging that i am going to create, i think it will set a very great feel to the CD cover and will create meaning and emotion at the same time. Going with this type of design inside the CD i think that i could use different photography but in the same saw they use it at the front and back. I think that the partynextdoor album the inside of it is very simple and this is linked to the front and back not so much colour the left pane might even be black and this reflects the artist as a whole because it seems like an emotional album you would want it to have minimal colour.    

CD Case study 2 - Drake Thank me later

This is my second case study and this is sort of the same genre of Bryson tiller and uses the same colour (red). Because they are both male artist this will work well with taking photography, also the album cover is similar it’s very simple and has little on the album cover which I like. The shot of the camera is a close up on the face and the actor is looking upwards I like the shot used because it is very straight forward and has a lot of meaning behind and related to the songs on the album very thoughtful and emotional. The angle I think is straight on but because he is looking up the anglelooks like it is slightly lower than his face. Well his body is not showing on the front cover of the cd so its more his facial expressions and it is very serious it sets the mood when the audience actually picks it up and gives you a feel that it's a serious album. Lighting is very well lit and is different from the Bryson tiller album because the Bryson tiller album the lighting was very dark I think because this one uses a white background it is more bright. What I can take from this case study is the use of effects and the way that they have made the outline on drake black and the one behind it red I really like that and want to incorporate that into my own cd cover. I like how the artist name is in red and stands out from the album name and it goes with the effect that they use which is coloured red and that's something i would like to use in my own products that I will be making. The image at the back is something I could use as well but I will use my photography and work with the template of the back cover, maybe just a smaller image with the text beside it.
